Produktbeschreibung
The author's father was the manager of a biscuit factory in an industrial area of north west London. He had served in the Great War, and after the war his first wife died in the 1919 flu pandemic, leaving him with a young daughter. He remarried and had another four children, Alan being the second. With scant formal education themselves, he and his wife were able to offer all the children a good education, and to Alan a medical one as well. It was during a biology class in his first year in the medical school that the author first heard about two streams of blood in the same chamber of the heart. In 1956, 'by a set of curious chances' (The Mikado), the author found himself in the setting he had dreamt about when he was a little boy: practising medicine in rural Africa. This was in Nyasaland, part of the former Central African Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. (Now Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi). In 1962 he was posted to Zomba as medical superintendent and met Pauline who had been born in the same hospital 21 years previously. The following year they were married, and immediately after the reception left for Fort Victoria in Rhodesia, where he had been offered the post of medical superintendent. Those were momentous times: bringing up a young family in a rapidly changing African environment and practising medicine in the midst of it. The story would make interesting reading, but the author has put it aside and only shown the details of his investigations of the foetal circulation in his little book.

Autorenporträt
The author arrived in Bulawayo Southern Rhodesia in December 1954, and worked as an assistant to the pathologist in a private laboratory. A year later he was working peacefully as a government medical officer in a large district of Nyasaland. But the southern end of the Rift Valley was not only unstable physically but politically as well, and the Central African Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was soon to become Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe was the last to arrive in 1980, and it was while that country was still Rhodesia in 1965 that the author was the medical superintendent of the hospital in Fort Victoria (Masvingo). In the hospital mortuary he discovered a foetal heart which revealed to him hitherto unknown secrets of the foetal circulation. In 1970 he opened his own medical practice in Salisbury (Harare), and worked as a G.P. until 2013 when his wife died and he returned to England. He produced his first book on the foetal circulation in Zimbabwe in 2011. He has since produced three other books on the same subject. The 5th edition is a much better version, with corrections of the errors in the first four after dissections of foetal lambs.
